Inventor: CARRONI RICHARD
IPC: F23R3/40
Filed: 2003-12-05
Abstract: The combustion process involves burning the fuel-air mixture flowing through a flow channel (13) in a first combustion stage in a catalytic converter (15), downstream of which the fuel is mixed with the exhaust from the converter. In a second stage, this mixture is burned, producing a homogeneous flame (17) by self-ignition. The flame is passed through aerodynamic stabilizing devices (16, 19).

Abstract: An object taking out apparatus is provided,
capable of taking out randomly stacked objects (41)
with high reliability and low cost. An image of one of
the workpieces, as an object of taking out at a
reference position, is captured by a video camera.
Whole feature information (8) and partial feature
information (10) are extracted from the captured image
by a model creating section (6) and a partial model
creating section (7), respectively, and stored in a
memory with information (9) on partial feature
detecting regions. An image of randomly stacked
workpieces (41) is captured and analysed to determine
positions/orientations of images of the respective
workpieces (41) using the whole feature information
(8). Partial feature detecting regions are set to the
images of the respective workpieces (41) using the
determined positions/orientations of the respective
workpieces (41) and information (9) on partial feature
detecting regions stored in the memory. Partial
features of the respective workpieces (41) are detected
in the partial feature detecting regions using the
partial feature information (10), and priority of
taking out the workpieces is determined based on
results of detection of the partial features. A robot
(31) is controlled to successively take out the object
of the first priority using data of the position/orientation
of the object of the first priority.

Patent EP-1331051-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BARRERA MARIA EUGENIA
IPC: B21D51/26
Filed: 2003-01-08
Abstract: Generally, aerosol containers made of
aluminum or tin are obtained by conventional deep drawing processes from sheet disks
and have cylindrical bodies with upper tapering finishing at a curl for fixing a valve
cover and are closed by convex and profiled cross section bottoms, for forming a
support region for upstanding the container. The bottom of such containers is obtained
before tapering by means of a blow or front shock once the cylindrical body having
planar circular base is shaped, this impact causing undesirable stresses on the body side
wall and material accumulation at the annular region joining with this wall since the
bottom thickness is not uniform. The invention proposes a process for shaping this
kind of containers by extrusion thus saving material as a consequence of imparting the
container with thin walls due to a substantial change in the production concept, giving
concave shape to the base for avoiding undesirable stresses on side wall during further
production steps and saving material at the joints with the side wall. The invention also
relates to a particular shape container, having no material accumulation at the concave
bottom, which may be used in different positions, horizontal or vertical aided by plastic
or metal accessories.

Title: Method and ribbed tube for thermally cleaving hydrocarbons
Inventor: WOELPERT PETER
IPC: C10G9/36
Filed: 2003-05-08
Abstract: In a process to crack crude oil in the presence steam, super-heated gases pass through pipes with helical inner ribs which twist the rising gases, progressively forming a core zone with a primarily axial flow. The helical ribs impart a twist action at their outer margins. The gas speed is faster at the tub roots than at the rib tips. The ribs are set at an angle of 22.5-32.5[deg] w.r.t the pipe axis. The temperature varies within the pipe wall by less than 12[deg]C. The notional isothermal lines in the core are circular. The flow of twisting gases advances in the pipe at a speed of 1.8-2 m/s, representing 7-8% of the free cross sectional area. The ribs and their separation are symmetrical.

Abstract: L'invention concerne l'utilisation de mesures de pH tissulaire en tant que système de diagnostic et/ou d'intervention chirurgicale. Elle concerne aussi un appareil utilisé afin de réaliser des mesures de pH tissulaire. Les mesures de pH tissulaire en temps réel peuvent être utilisées en tant que procédé de détermination de segments ischémiques du tissu et fournir à l'utilisateur des directions de conduite pendant et après une intervention chirurgicale. Lorsqu'un tissu présente une ischémie, un utilisateur peut réaliser une distribution optimale de liquides de conservation sur le site concerné et/ou réaliser un changement dans la conduite de la procédure afin d'augmenter le pH du site. Un mode de réalisation préféré concerne un procédé de détection d'acidose dans un tissu consistant à mettre en contact le tissu d'un patient avec une première électrode de pH disposée dans une paroi antérieure du ventricule gauche, puis à mettre en contact le tissu du patient avec une seconde électrode de pH disposée dans une paroi postérieure du ventricule gauche.

Abstract: L'invention prote sur un capteur optique de particules uniques, de haute sensibilité et réagissant à des suspensions relativement concentrées. Ce capteur utilise un faisceau de lumière relativement étroit pour éclairer une zone de détection optique de manière non uniforme. La zone est plus petite que le canal d'écoulement de sorte que le capteur puisse réagir à une seule fraction du nombre total des particules s'écoulant dans la canal, détectant ainsi un nombre statistiquement considérable de particules de tout diamètre approprié. Du fait que les différentes trajectoires des particules passent dans différentes parties de la zone éclairée à des intensités variées, il est nécessaire de procéder à la déconvolution du résultat : Deux méthodes de déconvolution sont utilisées : l'inversion de matrice modifiée ou la soustraction successive. Les deux méthodes utilisent quelques vecteurs de base mesurés empiriquement ou calculés à partir d'un modèle théorique, les autres vecteurs de base étant dérivés des premiers. Le capteur a compensé la turbidité.  invention porte également sur plusieurs réalisations utilisant l'extinction de lumière ou la détection à dispersion ou les deux.
